Otherwise great app. ### 2/5 — old version *2025-10-12* where are the new words from the newly released version? Otherwise great app ### 2/5 — Audio crashes *2025-08-28* When clicking audio icon in blue or grey it immideately crashes 😏 ### 4/5 — Excellent App *2020-08-09, version 1.1* This app covers a wide range of vocabulary: it is, after all Larousse’s “unabridged” French-English dictionary! So high marks for that, as it often has that obscure word that the others don’t (the only other recourse is apps like ‘Le Petit Robert’, ‘Le Robert Mobile’ or ‘Larousse Dictionnaire de français’ if you can read French reasonably well). Unfortunately, it has omitted verb conjugations which the standard Larousse English-French dictionary treats very well with full conjugations for every verb. It has links to high-quality sound files from native speakers for all the headwords and for a very large number of illustrative phrases and sentences. This is very useful for refining one’s pronunciation. This app would score a top 5 if it included verb conjugations, especially considering its low price. Highly recommended. ### 4/5 — Please fix the pronunciation files on the Larousse server *2020-05-04, version 1.1* Excellent content, but there is a problem with Larousse's server: many pronunciation files are missing, so you get constant error messages while using the app. This should be fixed. Otherwise, people are probably better off buying the cheaper Larousse English/French dictionary, because the content is very similar and you get many more pronunciations. Also, in the next version please add full-text search and the ability to add notes to bookmarks. ### 2/5 — Interface vieillissante *2020-02-19* Pas de mise à jour depuis 2 ans. Pas de prise en compte du format des nouveaux écrans. Pas de réponse aux emails, dans le passé ils répondaient. Quand on a payé pour une application, on devrait avoir des mises à jour. Non ? ### 3/5 — Tres bon contenu mais interface à revoir *2020-02-01* L’interface est maintenant dépassée et n’est pas adaptée aux nouvelles tailles d’écran (XS Max, 11 pro Max). Cela serait bien de revoir cela. Par ailleurs une fonction de conjugaison des verbes serait également tres utile. Merci de votre prise en compte de ces remarques. ### 2/5 — Manque d’ergonomie *2019-08-31* Vraiment cette application n’est pas pratique. En plus d’être assez pauvre en recherche d’expressions, les différentes langues et exemples ne se démarquent pas assez. Ce n’est pas très lisible pour des daltoniens légers (10% des hommes). Et puis surtout la zone de saisie pour la recherche est très petite et mal placée. Dans le coin à gauche, alors que le drapeau à droite fait double emploi avec la commande fléchée Français/anglais ou anglais/français. On se demande pourquoi les concepteurs laissent tant de place à l’accessoire et si peu à l’essentiel. ### 3/5 — Very good *2019-08-23, version 1.1* Need update to work smoothly on IOS 12 platform The keyboard look very ugly on iPhone as it’s very big. ### 3/5 — Ok when it works *2019-05-20* I got this because of the audio features to help with my French pronunciation. The ones that work are great, but some cause the app to crash, others give network errors or say the mp3 doesn’t exist . ### 2/5 — Disappointing *2018-11-22, version 1.1* When I want to know how to say something in French, I want to type in the English word have the app provide the French word and the pronunciation. There is a button for this, but tapping it results in a “network” error.” I deleted the app and reinstalled but am still only able to get the English pronunciation when I type in an English word, and that is not what I need. ### 2/5 — Pas de SON ??? *2018-08-10* Bonjour, à ce tarif là je pensais avoir le SON comme vous le vendez dans votre pitch !!!! Serait-il possible svp de faire une mise à jour ou de me donner la solution pour optimiser mon achat ? Merci d’avance de votre réponse ### 2/5 — Son!! *2018-08-09* Je viens (9/8/18) de télécharger ce dictionnaire Larousse; il m’a l’air très complet, sauf que ce qui m’intéressait le plus étant la prononciation, j’ai été très déçu de constater que, alors que celle du mot d’entrée ( que ce soit anglais ou français) donne très bien la prononciation, celles des mots ou expressions de sortie ne sont pas données, prétextant «Erreur réseau N......_en.mp3 Fichier inexistant». À quand une mise à jour régularisant cette fonctionnalité? ### 3/5 — Problèmes avec le son *2018-08-09* Dans le sens anglais vers français, le son pour les mots en français (haut-parleur gris) ne fonctionne pas. Dans le sens français vers anglais, le son pour les mots en anglais (haut-parleur gris) ne fonctionne pas. Apparemment certains fichiers son sont absents. L’erreur n’existe pas dans la version simplifiée du dictionnaire, et devrait pouvoir être facilement corrigée. Merci de votre attention. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Une mise à jour est vraiment nécessaire *2025-03-22* Larousse a toujours été la référence de dictionnaire. C’est la raison que j’ai acheté cette application. Mais c’est dommage que la mise à jour n’a pas été réalisée depuis très longtemps. J’espère qu’on pourrait avoir une nouvelle version de ce dictionnaire de renommé très prochainement. ### 1/5 — Please fix audio bug *2020-09-02, version 1.1* Some of the audio files are missing from the server. ### 1/5 — So bad *2020-09-01, version 1.1* So bad ### 1/5 — Possible fraud. Possible antiquity. *2020-07-24, version 1.1* This might be a fraud. Only translates single words. MP3 audio of pronunciation is not working. I would like my money back. ### 1/5 — l'audio ne fonctionne pas *2019-03-08* l'audio ne fonctionne pas. ### 1/5 — Pas son *2019-02-08* J ai vies d acheter le dictionnaire mais pourquoi il n y pas de son d ailleurs cette dictionnaire et aussi le Larousse français pouvez vous me corriger ça Cordialement ### 1/5 — La prononciation ne fonctionne plus *2018-12-14, version 1.1* Ça fait un an que l’on se fait impatient. Veuillez aider! ### 1/5 — I also find the audio feature does not work *2018-09-27, version 1.1* I would like to hear the French pronunciation of words but only get an error message. No setting provides a download of a sound file or any other remedy. ### 1/5 — Sound feature doesn’t work *2018-06-30, version 1.1* I bought this expensive app because I saw that it had a sound pronunciation feature. However, when you click on the speaker icons, either nothing happens or an error message pops up. I haven’t gotten the pronunciation sound feature to work even one time. I want my $9.99 back. ### 1/5 — Pas de son! *2018-04-04* J’ai acheté cette application uniquement pour avoir la prononciation -que je n’avais plus de l’ancienne version depuis la dernière mise à jour d’IOS. Horreur: Il n’y a toujours pas le son et donc pas de prononciation Lorsqu’on appuie sur le haut-parleur, on obtient un message d’erreur MP3. Larousse, pouvez-vous faire une mise à jour d’urgence, s’il vous plaît. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Amazing Dictionary *2026-07-27, version 1.1* Excellent and highly recommended dictionary for students who want to learn French, just like me. It includes pronunciation by native French speakers, and it also provides the IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet), which is an outstanding tool for learning how to pronounce each word correctly. Thank you for creating such a great dictionary. ### 5/5 — Excellent *2021-05-05, version 1.1* This is my most used dictionary for years! The usage examples are excellent and extensive. Pronunciation of main words and primary example phrases works, but secondary pronunciation links (pronunciation of the English definition for a French word or the French explanation of an English word) don’t. Comments on idiomatic usages and grammatical nuances are explained in detail and provided with many examples. ### 5/5 — Very Useful *2020-01-29, version 1.1* This is the best French dictionary app by far that I have used as concerns the content. The entries have helpful examples nicely laid out by semantic function. Please, please update this app to run smoothly on the latest OS! ### 5/5 — Needs an update *2019-12-02, version 1.1* DO NOT BUY ! The majority of pronunciations do not work, the app is not optimized for IOS13, and crashes often. Disappointed Larousse charges so much for this app and will not fix these issues after years. Instead use wordreference. It is free and has much better translations. Use Google translate if you need quick offline translations. ### 5/5 — Amazing French-English dictionary...especially for advanced speakers *2019-08-28, version 1.1* I have been using this dictionary for close to three years and can say that is indispensable for non native speakers who want to communicate at a high level. Unfortunately, I think that some issues with the audio feature is causing people to ignore all the utility of this app. To be clear, I am am fluent in French, living in Francophone Africa and providing medical care in that context. However, being a non native speaker I still frequently encounter words I don’t know (going to a hardware store, for example) or come upon times where the nuance of a word/phrase is very important. That’s where this dictionary is helpful because it not only gives the French-English translation but also gives the different translation in various contexts. For example the word “nut” can mean a food, a piece of hardware, or my crazy neighbor, each of which will have a different French word for translation. This dictionary will give you all translations. Additionally, we sometimes have specific phrases using said word that aren’t straightforward to translate, like “He’s a fitness nut.” This dictionary usually gives you an equivalent phrase. In reverse, it will give you the many different contexts/translations of a French words and often includes common idioms under a given word with their non literal translation. A language beginner may not appreciate all the information here, because at that level one only needs basic translations and speaks in a more limited context. However with time one finds themselves coming across a whole variety of contexts that require a tool to understand the breadth of the French language. As someone who picked up this app towards the beginning of French studies and now has to use French for daily life tasks as well as in academic contexts, I cannot more highly recommend this app. ### 5/5 — Great for expanding, and actually remembering, new vocabulary *2019-03-03, version 1.1* I really like using this app, I find it head and shoulders above the other ones I’ve used for actually learning a language. The search filters in real time, and the examples of how the word is used in different contexts makes it far more useful and memorable than a word in = word out translation. Note to the developers - a ‘did you mean?’ spelling correction would be useful for clumsy thumbs. Also, think about including “submit a sentence” for you to review and add colloquial uses that are not already featured. ### 5/5 — Needs to be updated *2019-01-12* Crashes often,please update and look into the problem ### 5/5 — Useful translation dictionary *2018-10-21, version 1.1* I am generally able to find the English for the French words I find in a French newspaper. Phrases of two or more words are sometimes found in the examples. However, most colloquialisms are not in the dictionary. Some words used in Quebec are not found. Some words that were created recently, or are formed by mixing existing words, are not found. ### 5/5 — Le meilleur parmi ceux que j'ai essayé *2018-03-31* Et j'en ai essayé pas mal. Il est très très complet, et il fournit plein d'exemples. Il ne me fait pour ainsi dire jamais défaut. ### 5/5 — Problème de mise à jour *2017-07-27* Cette application est très utile mais elle n'a pas été mise à jour depuis décembre 2014 et l'IPhone signale qu'elle ne sera bientôt plus compatible. Que fait Larousse ? Attendre pour nous revendre autre chose ? Ce n'est pas sérieux ! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
